![]() ![]() Poe and his mother, Elizabeth Arnold, relocated to Richmond, Virginia, where she died when Poe was two years old. His father, David Poe, Jr.,ĭeserted the family. AUTHOR BIOGRAPHYĪmerican poet, critic, and short story writer Edgar Allan Poe was born on January 19, 1809, in Boston, Massachusetts. As such, it is typical of Poe's work as a whole, and is an example of why his work is read more often today than the work of any other American writer of the nineteenth century. The story is at once a chilling tale that is hard to put down and a psychological study of an extremely disturbed mind. He abused and then killed his pet cat, and then murdered his long-suffering wife. When he was young he was gentle-natured and kind to animals, but in adulthood he fell into drunkenness. "The Black Cat" is a horrifying story of animal abuse and murder, told in the first person by a man who undergoes an alarming change of character. It is currently available in a number of editions, including Edgar Allan Poe: Complete Tales & Poems (2003). The story was reprinted in Poe's Tales in 1845 and has rarely, if ever, been out of print since. Poe considered it one of his best tales, and it was immediately popular. Edgar Allan Poe's short story, "The Black Cat," was first published in the United States Saturday Post (later known as the Saturday Evening Post) in August, 1843. ![]() ![]() ![]() Ironically, the one we're most familiar with - Harley Quinn (Margot Robbie) - is the least interesting, perhaps because she's already been established with two previous films and there isn't much more Gunn could do with her. ![]() And like Guardians, it's ultimately the characters that matter. In fact, the whole thing plays very much like Guardians of the Galaxy without a filter. Punctuated by gobs of gags and hilarious dialogue, the movie earns its dismemberments and f-bombs along the way. Hence, the film is vivid, violent and vulgar, yet at the same time, seldom feels pandering or gratuitous. ![]() ![]() And for the first time since his directorial debut, Slither, Gunn is unbound by the restrictions of a PG-13 rating, something else the material really needed. He may not have created Suicide Squad, but this adaptation has his stamp all over it. Material like this needs Gunn's flair for irreverence, clever dialogue and, most importantly, instilling characters with engaging personalities. Their second smartest move was nabbing James Gunn for The Suicide Squad, and not just because the first film was terrible. The smartest move DC ever made was to quit concerning themselves with cinematic world building and focus on making (mostly) standalone films that were simply entertaining.and didn't require a master's degree in Snydernomics to appreciate. ![]() ![]() ![]() How Hornbacher fights her way up from a madness that all but destroys her, and what it is like to live in a difficult and sometimes beautiful life and marriage - where bipolar always beckons - is at the center of this brave and heart-stopping memoir. ![]() Through scenes of astonishing visceral and emotional power, she takes us inside her own desperate attempts to counteract violently careening mood swings by self-starvation, substance abuse, numbing sex, and self-mutilation. In Madness, in her trademark wry and utterly self-revealing voice, Hornbacher tells her new story. At age twenty-four, Hornbacher was diagnosed with Type I rapid-cycle bipolar, the most severe form of bipolar disorder.

Miss Marple is in full (sitting and knitting) force here, and I loved her common sense, clever deductions as well as her clear morality.

Unfortunately for us, the humans who will be representing us on the intergalactic stage are two thirds of a washed up one-hit-wonder glam rock band who haven’t talked to each other in quite some time.

The premise is straightforward: whenever a new species is discovered they must compete in the Metagalactic Grand Prix, a massive musical competition that decides if your species is welcomed into intergalactic society with open arms, or wiped out. Instead of dramatic action set-pieces we get outrageous musical numbers from a cast of eclectic aliens surrounded by a kitchen sink’s worth of references and shoutouts. ‘Life is beautiful, and life is stupid.’ That’s one of the main themes in Space Opera by Catherynne Valente, a glittering tribute to Eurovision that, despite the title, isn’t really a space opera. ![]() |
